D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个贪婪的国王因不满公正的估价员而雇佣了一个无能的新估价员的故事。新估价员随意定价，将五百匹马仅估价为一碗米饭，引发众怒。最终国王被迫解雇他。故事讽刺了贪婪的后果，揭示了公平的重要性。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He was not happy with his Valuer because he was always fair in deciding the prices of things.”可知，国王对原估价师不满是因为其定价公平，故选B。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“His shoes had holes in them, and his shirt was dirty.”可知，新估价师最初的形象是鞋子有洞，故选B。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The Valuer thought for a moment and said, ‘Your horses are worth a bowl of rice!’”可知，马匹最初被估价为一碗米饭，故选C。 【64题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词“him”所在句“Ask him how much a bowl of rice is worth”及上下文可知，此处指代的是新估价师，故选D。 【65题详解】 主旨大意题。通过全文描述贪婪国王和愚蠢估价师的结局可知，作者想表达贪婪终将一无所得的道理，故选D。 第二节 E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 We usually have a runny nose when catching a cold. ____66____ Why is that? When we blow our nose very hard, the air can move from our nose to our ears and cause problems. When we have a cold, the tube (管道) that connects (连通) our nose to our ears gets smaller. ____67____ This might make our ears ring or even cause hearing disability. If the air from the nose goes into the eyes, it can make the pressure in the eyes go up. ____68____ This is why, sometimes, when you blow your nose too hard, both your eyes and ears may feel uncomfortable. ____69____ Just close one nostril (鼻孔) at a time and softly blow. Since your nose and throat are connected, you can also try to get the mucus (粘液) out from your mouth. ____70____ A. So, what’s the right way to clear your nose? B. And our parents tell us not to blow our nose so hard. C. So the air can’t go back to the nose and stays in the ear. D. It’s a good idea to take a deep breath with the nose, then cough quickly to get out the mucus. E. This might cause different eye problems and even affect how well we can see in the long run. 【答案】66. B 67. C 68. E 69. A 70. D 【解析】 【导语】本文解释了感冒时擤鼻涕过猛可能带来的问题：气流从鼻腔进入耳道，导致耳鸣或听力损伤；气流进入眼部会升高眼压，可能引发眼部问题甚至影响视力。最后给出了正确清理鼻腔的方法：单侧鼻孔轻柔擤鼻，或通过咳嗽从口腔排出黏液。 【66题详解】 根据上下文“We usually have a runny nose when catching a cold...Why is that?”可知，此处应该提出一个与擤鼻涕相关的现象或问题。选项B“父母告诉我们不要用力擤鼻涕。”符合语境，引出下文对原因的探讨。故选B。 【67题详解】 根据上文“When we have a cold, the tube that connects our nose to our ears gets smaller”可知，当我们感冒的时候，连接鼻子和耳朵的管道变窄，下文应说明由此导致的结果。选项C“所以空气无法回到鼻子而留在耳朵里。”与上下文逻辑衔接。故选C。 【68题详解】 根据上文“If the air from the nose goes into the eyes, it can make the pressure in the eyes go up.”可知，如果空气从鼻子进入眼睛，会使眼压升高，下文应说明眼压升高的后果。选项E“这可能导致各种眼部问题，长期甚至影响视力。”符合语境。故选E。 【69题详解】 根据下文“Just close one nostril at a time and softly blow”可知，一次只按住一个鼻孔轻轻的擤，此处应该引出正确擤鼻涕的方法。选项A“那么，正确清理鼻子的方法是什么？”符合语境。故选A。 【70题详解】 根据上文“Since your nose and throat are connected, you can also try to get the mucus out from your mouth.”可知，你也可以尝试从嘴里排出黏液，下文应补充另一种清理方法。选项D“用鼻子深吸气然后快速咳嗽排出黏液是个好方法。”与上下文衔接自然。故选D。 V. 情景交际（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据情景提示，用英语完成下列各题。 71. 当知道对方没有抢到他自己喜欢电影票的时候，你可以这样表达遗憾： ________________________! 【答案】What a pity 【解析】 【详解】根据情景可知，此句可以表达为“真可惜”，应用句型“What a pity”。故填What a pity。 72. 你想知道对方的名字，你可以这样问： May ____________________________________? 【答案】I have your name 【解析】 【详解】想知道对方的名字，可用May I have your name“请问你叫什么名字”询问对方。故填I have your name。 73. 当你即将和朋友久别重逢，可以这样向他表达你现在的心情： ________________________ see you. 【答案】I can’t wait to 【解析】 【详解】当你即将和朋友久别重逢，可以说“我等不及要见到你了”。I“我”；can’t wait to do sth.“迫不及待做某事”。故填I can’t wait to。 74. 你想知道对方现在的心情，可以这样问： ________________________ now? 【答案】How are you feeling 【解析】 【详解】想知道对方现在的心情，可以问How are you feeling now? “你现在感觉怎么样”，故填How are you feeling。 75. 你和对方的观点不统一时，可以这样对他说： ________________________ 【答案】I disagree (with you)./I don’t think so./I don’t agree (with you). 【解析】 【详解】根据情景可知，此句可以表达为“我不同意你的观点”，应用句型“I disagree (with you)/I don’t think so/I don’t agree (with you)”。故填I disagree (with you)./I don’t think so./I don’t agree (with you). VI. 看图写话（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据每小题所提供的图画情景和提示词，写出一个和图画情景相符的句子。 76. taste ________________________ 77. north ________________________ 78. as…as, fast ________________________ 79. best, way ________________________ 80. if, tomorrow ________________________ 【答案】76.
